Towards a REST-style architecture for networked vehicles and sensors

In this paper we report our research on the development of an open web-based architecture for controlling the behavior of systems composed of static sensors, mobile sensors and unmanned vehicles. We document the first implementation of the architecture and describe its application to our vehicles and sensors. We discuss the validation of this implementation in real-world deployments where one or more human operators interact with drifting sensors, unmanned vehicles and wireless sensor networks.
